Jt is difficult to handle threo such heavy guns aa Weat, Matthewa and Garfield, when all of them are brought into action on tbe same day; but reflecting on the importance of the formal opening of the campaign our readers will generally prefer, for this occasion, at least, politics to tniaccllany. Hence, we surrender the editing of tbe inside of this issue principally to the artillery aforcsiid. The meeting at Athena on Saturday was one of great promise to the Republicans. It waa compoeed largely of farmers, and was one of tbe most attentive we have ever seen. There Beemed to be a yearning for instruction in current political topics, and a great deal was dispensed with good effect. There waa nothing of the haranguing order in the speeches, but they were explanatory, argumentative and incisive, and appealed directly to dispassionate judgment, rather than to the " hip, hurrah " element. They gave material for reflection. Judge West, in a short impromptu speech, delivered with convincing earnestness, went into the causes of present distress, and in a brief iesaon of a primary character overthrew much of the inflation sophistry which rills and fringes the Democratic speeches cf the times. Tbe Valley Boatl. CliiHicothe Uegliter The progress of work at the lower end of the Valley road is very enconraging. The tracklayers, one hundred strong, under charge of Mr. Barrett, of Columbus, on Tuesday morning were about four miles out of Portsmouth, and if pothing unexpected interferes will, from now on, go ahead at a rate of nearly or quite a mile a dajr. There are already about 45,000 or 50,000 ties along the line of the road, but aver double that amount will be required. The grading ia pretty well finished, there being but an occasional gap to be closed up. The grading force is at work, and will continue to work eight and day until everything is completed and the tracklayers given full wing. The trestle work ia well along and will be completed in good season. A force of graders baa been at work on Sugar atreet for tbe past week, and had lit not been for the injunction alluded to elsewhere, would have ben finished to tthe city limits ere this. We understand St is the intention to start tracklaying at fbi end early In tb week. BY TELEGRAPH TO TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOREIGN. Fighting in Schipka Pass up to Saturday.

The storm waa from the north, and Btruck the easterly end of the immense structure with such force aa to wrench five hundred feet of it from its connections and topple it into the river, twisting the large wrought Iron stringers and columna into an endless variety of shapes. About onehalf of tbe debris is oqt of sight qnder the water, and tbe remainder lies on tje Bids anil at the foot of tbe high embankment on the eastern approach. In consequence of the disaster communication witn the West is wholly interrupted at this point for the present, but arrangements will doubtless be perfected shortly, either for the erection of temporary spans until permanent ones are supplied, or for the transfer of freight and passengers by the ferry.

An Alarming Contagion In Licking County Kwlna- and Bell to tbe 9espne. Newark, O., AuguBt 26. fo the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : In consequence of sickness in the Lick ing county Democratic family posters were stuck up early in last week, in and around tbe city, asking the party aa citizens and workingmen to meet at the Opera House, Saturday evening, and be dosed, Xhis call was issued iu pursuance of a consultation of the party nurses held prior. It was admitted and agreed to at the nurses' meeting, that that dreadful conta gion tbe "workingmen" had broken out in the family; and to stop its ravages something must be done speedily. After mature deliberation it waa deemed best to at onpe dinpstph wetnurse Riley to Co mmons tor medical aid. ills directions were to procure the services of Drs. Tom Ewing and William Bell jr., and not to return until hia mission bad been successfully accomplished. He succeeded, and the wires flashed the good tidings to Newark, "O. K. I. B. R." The nurses had faith in those men could they be had. and would act together, Dr. Bell to krat shake tho patients well, and Dr. Tom to follow with the medicine. I hey reached here promptly and' proceeded to business withoqt delay, ilow much good they have done toward curing the sick remains to be seen. This miicti ia known, the prognosis of the caees ia not hopeful by apy means. The prospects are bad bad. Dr. Tom (with Bell there has been no complaint) it is fearer), is not up with the times in the science of medicine, and ia in tbe fog in this instance. He haa thus far relied on bia old remedies. Has he any new ones? is the question asked, end answered, iso! Ur. Tom is what too many in the profession are, a reu'imst, and a routinist ia no better than a quack.

The school teachers are gathering in from their vacation tripB. The Ivanhoes, though not gratified with their Columbus entertainment, on account of the exceeding gloominess, speak in glowing terms of tbe hospitality of the Capital folks. Dr. W. J. Herdman, of Ann Arbor University, who will accompany the scientific expedition round the world as professor of authropology and anatomy, is a resident of tbia city, Captain Gelger mustered in a company of O. N. G. at Newark, tbiB week, and visited Dresden, this county, for the same purpose, but did not find a sufficient number enrolled. Rev. Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, baa occupied varioua pulpits here for several Sabbaths past. He preaches a plain practical sermon, using many pleasing aiini-liea and overpowering arguments, that always secure him an overflowing house. Quite an assembly gathered at the side of tbe jail last evening to silently listen to the dulcet atraina of an imprisoued rioter, who enjoys the rare blessing of a aweet tenor voioe, but finds no better place than a gloomy cell to give it vent. Vrbaua Item.. TJflBANA, August 26. To the Editor of the Ohio Bute Journal: News items are scarce; but there is a prospect for a lively business, and frequent letters. I did think I would bave a murder for Saturday's Stats Journal, but it turned out to be all "bosh" a few boys and girla raising Cain to excito the police. The facts are as follows : About 8:30 Friday evening an alarm was sprung from the depot station calling tbe police together. An old carter, a native ot Emerald Isle, stated that a crowd of men were murdering a woman in the noitheaat part of tbe city, near his residence, and tbat he bad went to the rescue, pitchfork in band, but they bad fled. He waa certain a murdered peraon was in a cornfield near by. The police made a vigorous search but no murdered person waB found, aud the supposition was that the false alarm was made to draw tbe police out of town for the purpose of robbery. But aa no burglary baa been reported the alarm ia laid to tbe boye. The Knights Templar of this place are making great preparations to attend the triennial Couclave at Cleveland this week. Raper Commandery leave here on the ll:4t train over the Cincinnati, Sandusky anu iieveiana roau to morrow. The seventh Regiment (O. N. G.) band go with this commandery. Another camp meeting ia in session on the Central Ohio Fair grounds, near Me-cbanicsburg. Several loads of passengers went over from this place in omnibuses and carriages. The meeting we learn is in the interest of the African Baptist Church. l irelevllle Local.. ClRCLEVILLV, O., Aug. 25. To the KJItor of the Ohio Stat. Journal : Mr. Samuel J, Karshner and family, of your city, who were visiting Mr. Karshner sr., of Tarlton, Ohio, were driving out to visit some friends, in an express wagon. The horse became frightened and overturned the load of father, mother and three sons in a ditch. Happily not one of tbe party was injured, but of the wag on and harneaa very little was left after the animal waa caught. Another party of young people from &.mgBier, visiting near Tariton, Ohio, one of the gentlemen in turning around upset the buggy and found himself and lady on the ground. Bath were slightly loj ureu. About fifteen overloaded cars of a very jolly crowd, from all appearances, came iu last night late from the Sabioa Fair. Uur people who attended it are loud in their praises concerning the fair. A good ly number will visit the Soldiers' Home next week. Several darinz burglaries have been committed in our city lately, but the fel lows as yet have eluded the omcers. Some one tried his hand at Mr, Amos Beach a residence night before last, but happily a neighbor lady awakaned Mr. B. by her calling him. Mr. Is. promptly got up, but the fellow was gone. He is described as a small man, slouched hat and dark clothes on. WHO QSMAN PASHA IS. Sfone Olber tban tbe Famous Mar bal Baaalne. The Army and Navy Journal publishes tne louowing : "it is conuuenuv asserted in England from private information that Osman Paaha is none other than that cel ebrated fugitive from Frenoh orisons. Marshal Fraucoia Oohilre Bazaine. This intelligence is by no means improbable iJaaaine waa always an active and stirring man, and tbe circumatances of his public trial in f-ranee were aucu as to abut bim out from a career in any army of Chris tian Europe. Like most French olhcera of rank, be bad served in Algeria, and in so doing acquired considerably knowl edge o( Arabip and of the Arabs. Besides this, be served in the Crimean war in command of the Foreign Lesion. and afterward as French Governor of Sebastopol. During that period he naturally made many Turkish acquaintances , and therefore there is nothing more nat ural than that he should go to Turkey in the hour of hia need,. t ia no secret that Bazaine waa a strong Bonapartist, ant) that his treason to France in the interest of the late Emperor is indulgently looked on by tbe Imperial Government. In Turkey.where Bazaine's master waa the best friend of the Sultan, Baiaine would be received with open arms by those of bis friends, who knew his value in any capacity of trained soldier. That he should bave concealed hia identity with the utmost care is equally natural, and had not war come it is possible he might bave concealed it till his death, but war with Russia, hia antag oniet of twenty years ago, could not fail to bring Osman Pasba in contact with the people who knew General Bazaine as Governor of Sahaato-pol. Whether the secret leaked out through some Russian officer prisoner in his hands, or some English or French attache who had served in the Crimea and recognized Osman Pasha, ia uncertain, but the oharacter of bis fighting at Plevna, a stubborn, defensive battle, is curiously like the first day at Grayelotte, though the difference of force on the enemies' aide led him to a happier isme."

Vermont memoir, of the Hayes Family, Kuthmd (Vt.) Horald.J The vieit of President Hayes to Brat-tleboro and Newfane has revived deep interest in every object and locality in the remotest degree associated with the families of Burchard and Hayes. In the neighboring town of Dommerston, upon a plateau which commands a charming view of the fertile valley, are several interesting mementoes of the family. On tho south aide of the common, connected witb a large wooden structure of modern construction, standa the little store in which Rutherford Hayes, father of the President, firat embarked in businesa, aa a member of tbe firm of Noyes, Mann & Hayes. Tbe partners came from West Brattleboro, and set up in a country store, where they continued to do business for eeveral years. The firm waa dissolved, and John Noyes and Rutherford Hayes united their fortunes and opened a store in a large two-story building, painted red, which still stands on the east side of the green, and is now occupied by a venerable cordwainer and his family. A part of the second story was fitted up as a ball room, and there in ye olden time the rustic bellea and beaux were wont to trip a light fantastic Joe to the music of the violin. The ceiling, from which tbe great patchea of plaster have fallen, ia arched, and along the sides of the hall are permanent slats, innocent of paint, which have grown brown with age. The place Is destitute of ornament or furniture, contains a spinning-wheel and several old chests and trunks. In this building Mr. Hayes carried on buaineaa between tbe yeara 1812 and 1817. His wife, the mother of the President, A. PRITCHARD & CO., f ' . .A Car W PEACHES! lived a part of the time in a bouse stand ing adjacent to the little old store which was built by her husband, and there were born a daughter and aon. The latter wa. drowned while skating on the Ohio river a few years alter the family emigra ted to Ohio. The house ia now owned and occupied by Mrs. Asa Knight, whote son, John Knight, of Des Moines, Iowa, is now on a visit to this venerable mother. The kitchen nnd porch of the house were built by Mr. Hayes, and are still standing in a good degree of preservation. On tbe road from Brattleboro to Dummeraton stood, a few yeara ago, the atore of Richard Burchard, an uncle of the President. which was destroyed by fire, and the owner perished in the names. Notwithstanding tbe visit of the Presi dent to the village of Fayetteville last l'riday was unexpected by the community generally, sun a considerable number greeted him upon his arrival, and assembled at the residence of Austin Burchard, where they were presented to the distinguished visitor. A cordial weloome waa accorded the family by their venerable relative, and several boura were spent in the revival of memories pteasint and aad, and congratulations upon the bigh honors conferred upon the favorite nephew, and the grand old age of the uncle. Mr, Burchard, who is now in the eightyfourth year of his age, has been a merchant in Fayetteville many years, and has been one of the most public spirited aud useful citizens of the county and 8tate, occupying various public offices, Senator, Councilor and Presidential Elec tor, lie is a man of sterling integrity, and highly respected by all classes. Mr. Burchard and Mrs. Bigelow are the only relatives of the President living in Vermont, from whence his father moved some six years before Butherford, as the citizens familiarly call him, was born. His grandfather settled in West Brattleboro, where he built a large square house, which is now occupied by Mrs. Bigelow. ' Friends. Harper's Bazar. Most of us can probably count our friends on our fingers, and fortunate are we if there are not some digits to spare after the reckoning is made. We do not merely mean, in sneaking of friends, those with whom wa are intimately acquainted; with whom we go shopping or sight-eeeing; who visit us often; who worship under the same creed, and contribute to the same missions; who Bond us jellies when we are ill, and tell ua our faults with a frankness which might be lovely in the abstracl; who are always using tbe rod for our good, and who never hear an unflattering comment upon us or ours but they hasten to refresh us with the Bweet morsel,. We are to denominate as friends those who are something more than mere acquaintances, who are connected with us by marriage or association, without reflecting that friendship signifies something more than the interchange of pleasant civilities and costly gifts, something beyond similarity of tastes and ambitions. The real friend ia he who accepts you with all your imperfections on your head who entertains, in truth, an affection . for these same imperfections as component parts of yourself, without which you would not be you. He is never ready to prove hia superiority of judgment or his pre-eminence in any respect, preferring rather to believe in equality; never seeks to gain the advantage; encourages without flattery; never dreams of placing himself in competition with you; rejoices iu yobr auccessea, mourns over your failures. Perhaps the reason why friends are so scarce is because tbe requirements of friendship are so great; lew people are unselfish enough to meet them. Though "some men," we read, "are born for frienship," can not exist without burning incenso before Borne shrine, there are many others almost incapable of the sentiment, who call one and another by the name of friend because they happen . to fancy tbe same clergyman, to agree respecting certian orthodox or heterodox opinions, are next door neighbors, afford the same luxuries, dote on the same authors, but who criticize these friends with unsparing zeal, and whom any change of fortune or opinion would render frigid with indifference, while oae of the fundamental demands of friendship is that our regard shall be able to survive disagreement. We love our friend not for what be thinks, or knows, or believes, but for what he is; and there must be something more vital in the matter than the same respect for faBhion, concurrence in tbe method of picking mangoes, or an interest in the name Bethel societies, if it would outlive tho touch-Btone of familiarity. One should be allowed, moreover, to choose one's friends, and not have them thiuat upon one; neither is it well to rush into friendship like a gushing school girl, for like every other growth, there ia first the germ, then the shoot, and last of all, after patient discipline of sunshine and rain, arrives the perfect blossom. Beat In tbe Sbade. "Only a wild flower," said primrose, "I suppose I am nothing better, and shade ia quite good enough for me, yet I think 1 am as pretty as many of those in the flower's beds; and, if I only had the chance they have, I should be worth look-iug at." "I think, gardener," said little Nell, "I should like my primrose in a better place. It is not Been there; and it is so pretty 1" "It would not be fine lone, Miss, if it were taken out of tbe shade." "Do try it, please." And so the primrose plant was carefully removed to a more conspicuous place in the garden. It was very much pleased, and put forth aa many blossom eyes as possible, to gaze at the sun the better; but they were very weak one?, that Boon grew tired of eight. "I wish I were back again," Baid the primrose. "It ia grand here; but I often feel thirsty and faint as I never did before. The sun docs not look ao kindly aa it did, with a gentle, soft light through the buthes. Sometimes I think he ia quite cruel." "I think you were right, gardener," said Nellie. "Though you were ao careful not to disturb tbe root, my primrose has alter ed strangely." So the primrose plant was taken back. Tbe next spring found it stronger and wlrer. "Whoever placed me in the shade knew best," it said. 87 WEST BROAD ST., Received this morning:, of Vefow Crawfofd & Mxen DIED. NawELL Saturday, August 25, Fbeddis NawsLL, aged three years, son of H.

Jt is difficult to handle threo such heavy guns aa Weat, Matthewa and Garfield, when all of them are brought into action on tbe same day; but reflecting on the importance of the formal opening of the campaign our readers will generally prefer, for this occasion, at least, politics to tniaccllany. Hence, we surrender the editing of tbe inside of this issue principally to the artillery aforcsiid. The meeting at Athena on Saturday was one of great promise to the Republicans. It waa compoeed largely of farmers, and was one of tbe most attentive we have ever seen. There Beemed to be a yearning for instruction in current political topics, and a great deal was dispensed with good effect. There waa nothing of the haranguing order in the speeches, but they were explanatory, argumentative and incisive, and appealed directly to dispassionate judgment, rather than to the " hip, hurrah " element. They gave material for reflection. Judge West, in a short impromptu speech, delivered with convincing earnestness, went into the causes of present distress, and in a brief iesaon of a primary character overthrew much of the inflation sophistry which rills and fringes the Democratic speeches cf the times. Tbe Valley Boatl. CliiHicothe Uegliter The progress of work at the lower end of the Valley road is very enconraging. The tracklayers, one hundred strong, under charge of Mr. Barrett, of Columbus, on Tuesday morning were about four miles out of Portsmouth, and if pothing unexpected interferes will, from now on, go ahead at a rate of nearly or quite a mile a dajr. There are already about 45,000 or 50,000 ties along the line of the road, but aver double that amount will be required. The grading ia pretty well finished, there being but an occasional gap to be closed up. The grading force is at work, and will continue to work eight and day until everything is completed and the tracklayers given full wing. The trestle work ia well along and will be completed in good season. A force of graders baa been at work on Sugar atreet for tbe past week, and had lit not been for the injunction alluded to elsewhere, would have ben finished to tthe city limits ere this. We understand St is the intention to start tracklaying at fbi end early In tb week. BY TELEGRAPH TO TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL FOREIGN. Fighting in Schipka Pass up to Saturday.

All the mincra of the Lackawanna Valley, nearly all the Wyoming Valley, all those in the Lehigh region, excepting those in tbe employ of Pardee & Co., are idle, and the men of the latter company bold a mass meeting at Hazelton to-day to decide' vbat action they shall take. There ia no doubt that tbe Lehigh Valley Railroad company have determined to drive out of market the few operators who have raised their employers' vagps ten per cent. The American Asthrgpological Association holds its first annual meeting in Cincinnati, September 5, 1877. This is It Bocjety which hag for its object the investigation of the pre-biatoric races of America. It waa organised on the Centennial grounds, but has members scattered from Maine .to California, and from Minnesota to Texas, all engaged in the same work. It embraces a large number of the best scholars of this potintry and has invited a society of European sauuiu, called the Congress Die Americanistes, to meet with it at Indianapolis in 1870. Ita officers at present are : Hon. C. C. Jones, AugiiBta, Georgia, President; Professor A. F. Baird, Colonel C. Whittlesey, Dr. Thomaa E. Peckitt and others, Vice Presidents; Rev. S. D.

The storm waa from the north, and Btruck the easterly end of the immense structure with such force aa to wrench five hundred feet of it from its connections and topple it into the river, twisting the large wrought Iron stringers and columna into an endless variety of shapes. About onehalf of tbe debris is oqt of sight qnder the water, and tbe remainder lies on tje Bids anil at the foot of tbe high embankment on the eastern approach. In consequence of the disaster communication witn the West is wholly interrupted at this point for the present, but arrangements will doubtless be perfected shortly, either for the erection of temporary spans until permanent ones are supplied, or for the transfer of freight and passengers by the ferry. It is expected that connection with the West will be re-established this afternoon. Foreign. All quiet at Loftscha and Plevna. The Russians, it Is said, have contracted with an engineering firm for the construction of bridges across tbe Danube capable of withstanding ice. It is said that the Russian troops at Sietova Tuesday rioted because of bad provisions, and threw one hundred thousand mouldy loaves of bread into the Danube.It is officially announced tbat all the great Powers, and Belgium, Holland, Sweden and Portugal, have adhered to the Uerman protest against Turkish cruelties.A dispatch from Schumla states that the Turks, Friday night, at Fapackering, after a severe engagement, turned the Russian left wing. Tbe Russians were repulsed along the whole line, and suffered a heavy loss. Suleiman Pasba telegraphs confirming tbe report of Wednesday's desperate fighting without decisive result: "Fighting resumed Thursday. Russians completely surrounded. We command their line of retreat to Gabrova. To-morrow a decisive assault will be made. Aa the Russians have not profited by the darknena to retreat, they risk being all captured." The Turks, in strong force, violently attacked Schipka pass, Thursday, on three sides. All the onslaughts were repulsed. At cine o'clock in the evening a rifle corps reinforcement stormed the heights of the Russian right, and dtsperate fighting continued ti.l midnight, when an eclipse of the moon stopped the fighting. Tbe VnsBians maintained all their positions, SotwitUstanding Turkish numerical superiority and crossfire. The Kussiana had now fought for four days the whole of Suleiman Pasha's army without partaking of reat or warm nourishment. Further considerable reinforcements were expected during the night. Tbe fighting Friday waa confined to a lively cannonade. The Turkish left wing, threatening the KnsBiaq rear, has been driven from its position ,' Oblo.

An Alarming Contagion In Licking County Kwlna- and Bell to tbe 9espne. Newark, O., AuguBt 26. fo the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : In consequence of sickness in the Lick ing county Democratic family posters were stuck up early in last week, in and around tbe city, asking the party aa citizens and workingmen to meet at the Opera House, Saturday evening, and be dosed, Xhis call was issued iu pursuance of a consultation of the party nurses held prior. It was admitted and agreed to at the nurses' meeting, that that dreadful conta gion tbe "workingmen" had broken out in the family; and to stop its ravages something must be done speedily. After mature deliberation it waa deemed best to at onpe dinpstph wetnurse Riley to Co mmons tor medical aid. ills directions were to procure the services of Drs. Tom Ewing and William Bell jr., and not to return until hia mission bad been successfully accomplished. He succeeded, and the wires flashed the good tidings to Newark, "O. K. I. B. R." The nurses had faith in those men could they be had. and would act together, Dr. Bell to krat shake tho patients well, and Dr. Tom to follow with the medicine. I hey reached here promptly and' proceeded to business withoqt delay, ilow much good they have done toward curing the sick remains to be seen. This miicti ia known, the prognosis of the caees ia not hopeful by apy means. The prospects are bad bad. Dr. Tom (with Bell there has been no complaint) it is fearer), is not up with the times in the science of medicine, and ia in tbe fog in this instance. He haa thus far relied on bia old remedies. Has he any new ones? is the question asked, end answered, iso! Ur. Tom is what too many in the profession are, a reu'imst, and a routinist ia no better than a quack. Ewing'e inflation pills; Swing's anti-resumption laxative; Ewing'e anti- Sherman bitters; Swing's greenback plasters and remonetized silver (old nitrate of silver), did in a manner in years paat meet he caaea be waa called in to see, btit hey won't do now, and Tom ought to he- gin to find it out.

To the PJitor oftt)e Ohio State Journal : Two separate calls for Workingmen's Conventions have been issued for Saturday, September 1. Within a week b!x citizens bave died whose aggregate ugps, were 510 years, and average 85, namely : Rjbert Thompson,! 82; Mariah Hughes, 83; Margaret Hook, 88; Joseph Larzalere, 83; Lucinda Baily, 77; Thomas Clark, 97. the window class works have started their fires, preparatory to resuming with a full fore. The school teachers are gathering in from their vacation tripB. The Ivanhoes, though not gratified with their Columbus entertainment, on account of the exceeding gloominess, speak in glowing terms of tbe hospitality of the Capital folks. Dr. W. J. Herdman, of Ann Arbor University, who will accompany the scientific expedition round the world as professor of authropology and anatomy, is a resident of tbia city, Captain Gelger mustered in a company of O. N. G. at Newark, tbiB week, and visited Dresden, this county, for the same purpose, but did not find a sufficient number enrolled. Rev. Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, baa occupied varioua pulpits here for several Sabbaths past. He preaches a plain practical sermon, using many pleasing aiini-liea and overpowering arguments, that always secure him an overflowing house. Quite an assembly gathered at the side of tbe jail last evening to silently listen to the dulcet atraina of an imprisoued rioter, who enjoys the rare blessing of a aweet tenor voioe, but finds no better place than a gloomy cell to give it vent. Vrbaua Item.. TJflBANA, August 26. To the Editor of the Ohio Bute Journal: News items are scarce; but there is a prospect for a lively business, and frequent letters. I did think I would bave a murder for Saturday's Stats Journal, but it turned out to be all "bosh" a few boys and girla raising Cain to excito the police. The facts are as follows : About 8:30 Friday evening an alarm was sprung from the depot station calling tbe police together. An old carter, a native ot Emerald Isle, stated that a crowd of men were murdering a woman in the noitheaat part of tbe city, near his residence, and tbat he bad went to the rescue, pitchfork in band, but they bad fled. He waa certain a murdered peraon was in a cornfield near by. The police made a vigorous search but no murdered person waB found, aud the supposition was that the false alarm was made to draw tbe police out of town for the purpose of robbery. But aa no burglary baa been reported the alarm ia laid to tbe boye. The Knights Templar of this place are making great preparations to attend the triennial Couclave at Cleveland this week. Raper Commandery leave here on the ll:4t train over the Cincinnati, Sandusky anu iieveiana roau to morrow. The seventh Regiment (O. N. G.) band go with this commandery. Another camp meeting ia in session on the Central Ohio Fair grounds, near Me-cbanicsburg. Several loads of passengers went over from this place in omnibuses and carriages. The meeting we learn is in the interest of the African Baptist Church. l irelevllle Local.. ClRCLEVILLV, O., Aug. 25. To the KJItor of the Ohio Stat. Journal : Mr. Samuel J, Karshner and family, of your city, who were visiting Mr. Karshner sr., of Tarlton, Ohio, were driving out to visit some friends, in an express wagon. The horse became frightened and overturned the load of father, mother and three sons in a ditch. Happily not one of tbe party was injured, but of the wag on and harneaa very little was left after the animal waa caught. Another party of young people from &.mgBier, visiting near Tariton, Ohio, one of the gentlemen in turning around upset the buggy and found himself and lady on the ground. Bath were slightly loj ureu. About fifteen overloaded cars of a very jolly crowd, from all appearances, came iu last night late from the Sabioa Fair. Uur people who attended it are loud in their praises concerning the fair. A good ly number will visit the Soldiers' Home next week. Several darinz burglaries have been committed in our city lately, but the fel lows as yet have eluded the omcers. Some one tried his hand at Mr, Amos Beach a residence night before last, but happily a neighbor lady awakaned Mr. B. by her calling him. Mr. Is. promptly got up, but the fellow was gone. He is described as a small man, slouched hat and dark clothes on. WHO QSMAN PASHA IS. Sfone Olber tban tbe Famous Mar bal Baaalne. The Army and Navy Journal publishes tne louowing : "it is conuuenuv asserted in England from private information that Osman Paaha is none other than that cel ebrated fugitive from Frenoh orisons. Marshal Fraucoia Oohilre Bazaine. This intelligence is by no means improbable iJaaaine waa always an active and stirring man, and tbe circumatances of his public trial in f-ranee were aucu as to abut bim out from a career in any army of Chris tian Europe. Like most French olhcera of rank, be bad served in Algeria, and in so doing acquired considerably knowl edge o( Arabip and of the Arabs. Besides this, be served in the Crimean war in command of the Foreign Lesion. and afterward as French Governor of Sebastopol. During that period he naturally made many Turkish acquaintances , and therefore there is nothing more nat ural than that he should go to Turkey in the hour of hia need,. t ia no secret that Bazaine waa a strong Bonapartist, ant) that his treason to France in the interest of the late Emperor is indulgently looked on by tbe Imperial Government. In Turkey.where Bazaine's master waa the best friend of the Sultan, Baiaine would be received with open arms by those of bis friends, who knew his value in any capacity of trained soldier. That he should bave concealed hia identity with the utmost care is equally natural, and had not war come it is possible he might bave concealed it till his death, but war with Russia, hia antag oniet of twenty years ago, could not fail to bring Osman Pasba in contact with the people who knew General Bazaine as Governor of Sahaato-pol. Whether the secret leaked out through some Russian officer prisoner in his hands, or some English or French attache who had served in the Crimea and recognized Osman Pasha, ia uncertain, but the oharacter of bis fighting at Plevna, a stubborn, defensive battle, is curiously like the first day at Grayelotte, though the difference of force on the enemies' aide led him to a happier isme." THE MASONS. The Grand Triennial Conclave of Knlgbta at Cleveland. Cleveland, Aug. 26. Preparations are nearly complete for the Grand Triennial Conclave of Knights Templar. Tbe hotels, principal buildinga and afreets are profusely decorated with evergreens and flags. The detailB of the grand procession on Tuesday are complete. The city is beginning to fill with strangers. To-day three commanderiee two from Cincinnati and one from Dayton arrived, and are at their quarterB in Raker's block, Superior street. To-morrow morning and during the day special trains of Pullman cars from the East, Weat, and South, and also several large steamers chartered by oommanderies from different points on the lakes, will arrive. The indicationa are now that the attendance will be much larger than at any previous conclave. It is estimated that 10,000 Sir Knights will be in line on Tuesday, exclusive of music, of which seventeen bands are on the programme. About 150 commanderies have been assigned positions. The accommodations for Sir Knighls and visitors at the hotels and private houses have been found ample, and the committee in charge wish it understood that all who come can be taken care of. Vermont memoir, of the Hayes Family, Kuthmd (Vt.) Horald.J The vieit of President Hayes to Brat-tleboro and Newfane has revived deep interest in every object and locality in the remotest degree associated with the families of Burchard and Hayes. In the neighboring town of Dommerston, upon a plateau which commands a charming view of the fertile valley, are several interesting mementoes of the family. On tho south aide of the common, connected witb a large wooden structure of modern construction, standa the little store in which Rutherford Hayes, father of the President, firat embarked in businesa, aa a member of tbe firm of Noyes, Mann & Hayes. Tbe partners came from West Brattleboro, and set up in a country store, where they continued to do business for eeveral years. The firm waa dissolved, and John Noyes and Rutherford Hayes united their fortunes and opened a store in a large two-story building, painted red, which still stands on the east side of the green, and is now occupied by a venerable cordwainer and his family. A part of the second story was fitted up as a ball room, and there in ye olden time the rustic bellea and beaux were wont to trip a light fantastic Joe to the music of the violin. The ceiling, from which tbe great patchea of plaster have fallen, ia arched, and along the sides of the hall are permanent slats, innocent of paint, which have grown brown with age. The place Is destitute of ornament or furniture, contains a spinning-wheel and several old chests and trunks. In this building Mr. Hayes carried on buaineaa between tbe yeara 1812 and 1817. His wife, the mother of the President, A. PRITCHARD & CO., f ' . .A Car W PEACHES! lived a part of the time in a bouse stand ing adjacent to the little old store which was built by her husband, and there were born a daughter and aon. The latter wa. drowned while skating on the Ohio river a few years alter the family emigra ted to Ohio. The house ia now owned and occupied by Mrs. Asa Knight, whote son, John Knight, of Des Moines, Iowa, is now on a visit to this venerable mother. The kitchen nnd porch of the house were built by Mr. Hayes, and are still standing in a good degree of preservation. On tbe road from Brattleboro to Dummeraton stood, a few yeara ago, the atore of Richard Burchard, an uncle of the President. which was destroyed by fire, and the owner perished in the names. Notwithstanding tbe visit of the Presi dent to the village of Fayetteville last l'riday was unexpected by the community generally, sun a considerable number greeted him upon his arrival, and assembled at the residence of Austin Burchard, where they were presented to the distinguished visitor. A cordial weloome waa accorded the family by their venerable relative, and several boura were spent in the revival of memories pteasint and aad, and congratulations upon the bigh honors conferred upon the favorite nephew, and the grand old age of the uncle. Mr, Burchard, who is now in the eightyfourth year of his age, has been a merchant in Fayetteville many years, and has been one of the most public spirited aud useful citizens of the county and 8tate, occupying various public offices, Senator, Councilor and Presidential Elec tor, lie is a man of sterling integrity, and highly respected by all classes. Mr. Burchard and Mrs. Bigelow are the only relatives of the President living in Vermont, from whence his father moved some six years before Butherford, as the citizens familiarly call him, was born. His grandfather settled in West Brattleboro, where he built a large square house, which is now occupied by Mrs. Bigelow. ' Friends. Harper's Bazar. Most of us can probably count our friends on our fingers, and fortunate are we if there are not some digits to spare after the reckoning is made. We do not merely mean, in sneaking of friends, those with whom wa are intimately acquainted; with whom we go shopping or sight-eeeing; who visit us often; who worship under the same creed, and contribute to the same missions; who Bond us jellies when we are ill, and tell ua our faults with a frankness which might be lovely in the abstracl; who are always using tbe rod for our good, and who never hear an unflattering comment upon us or ours but they hasten to refresh us with the Bweet morsel,. We are to denominate as friends those who are something more than mere acquaintances, who are connected with us by marriage or association, without reflecting that friendship signifies something more than the interchange of pleasant civilities and costly gifts, something beyond similarity of tastes and ambitions. The real friend ia he who accepts you with all your imperfections on your head who entertains, in truth, an affection . for these same imperfections as component parts of yourself, without which you would not be you. He is never ready to prove hia superiority of judgment or his pre-eminence in any respect, preferring rather to believe in equality; never seeks to gain the advantage; encourages without flattery; never dreams of placing himself in competition with you; rejoices iu yobr auccessea, mourns over your failures. Perhaps the reason why friends are so scarce is because tbe requirements of friendship are so great; lew people are unselfish enough to meet them. Though "some men," we read, "are born for frienship," can not exist without burning incenso before Borne shrine, there are many others almost incapable of the sentiment, who call one and another by the name of friend because they happen . to fancy tbe same clergyman, to agree respecting certian orthodox or heterodox opinions, are next door neighbors, afford the same luxuries, dote on the same authors, but who criticize these friends with unsparing zeal, and whom any change of fortune or opinion would render frigid with indifference, while oae of the fundamental demands of friendship is that our regard shall be able to survive disagreement. We love our friend not for what be thinks, or knows, or believes, but for what he is; and there must be something more vital in the matter than the same respect for faBhion, concurrence in tbe method of picking mangoes, or an interest in the name Bethel societies, if it would outlive tho touch-Btone of familiarity. One should be allowed, moreover, to choose one's friends, and not have them thiuat upon one; neither is it well to rush into friendship like a gushing school girl, for like every other growth, there ia first the germ, then the shoot, and last of all, after patient discipline of sunshine and rain, arrives the perfect blossom. Beat In tbe Sbade. "Only a wild flower," said primrose, "I suppose I am nothing better, and shade ia quite good enough for me, yet I think 1 am as pretty as many of those in the flower's beds; and, if I only had the chance they have, I should be worth look-iug at." "I think, gardener," said little Nell, "I should like my primrose in a better place. It is not Been there; and it is so pretty 1" "It would not be fine lone, Miss, if it were taken out of tbe shade." "Do try it, please." And so the primrose plant was carefully removed to a more conspicuous place in the garden. It was very much pleased, and put forth aa many blossom eyes as possible, to gaze at the sun the better; but they were very weak one?, that Boon grew tired of eight. "I wish I were back again," Baid the primrose. "It ia grand here; but I often feel thirsty and faint as I never did before. The sun docs not look ao kindly aa it did, with a gentle, soft light through the buthes. Sometimes I think he ia quite cruel." "I think you were right, gardener," said Nellie. "Though you were ao careful not to disturb tbe root, my primrose has alter ed strangely." So the primrose plant was taken back. Tbe next spring found it stronger and wlrer. "Whoever placed me in the shade knew best," it said. 87 WEST BROAD ST., Received this morning:, of Vefow Crawfofd & Mxen DIED. NawELL Saturday, August 25, Fbeddis NawsLL, aged three years, son of H.
